"A true retreat. We woke to the rooster, had breakfast with homemade bread, and ended the day in the sauna. No phone, no rush. Perfect."

Farm Stay & Spa in the Douro Valley
Casa do Porco
A centuries-old stone and timber house in Melres, where time stands still. No technology, no TV. Just the land, the river, and the silence.
Our story
Where stone holds memories
For generations this stone house has embraced those who arrive. Ana and Pedro received the family home and transformed it into a refuge of authenticity. Here there are no screens and no haste — there is the scent of firewood, the rooster singing at dawn, the steam of the sauna at dusk, and the Douro river winding in the distance.

🌿 Farm life, like it used to be
The garden and the animals
Chickens, goats, and a pig live in the yard. The vegetable garden yields produce for breakfast and for the table. Children (and adults) can help gather eggs and water the plants.
